Core Viewpoint - The prices of storage products, including memory modules and solid-state drives, have surged dramatically since September, leading to increased costs for major computer manufacturers and a decline in customer demand for new builds [2][4][5]. Price Surge in Storage Products - Since September, the price of memory modules has increased significantly, with DDR5 memory prices rising from around 1,000 yuan to 2,300-2,400 yuan, and DDR4 prices increasing from over 100 yuan to 300-400 yuan, with daily price hikes of 50-60 yuan [2]. - Solid-state drives have also seen substantial price increases, with a 1TB SSD's procurement price more than doubling compared to earlier in the year, rising from 200-300 yuan to 700-800 yuan [2]. - Online platforms reflect similar trends, with Kingston's 32G DDR4 memory increasing by nearly 70% and other brands like Goldendata and Acer experiencing price hikes of over 140% and 100 yuan respectively within a short period [3]. Impact on Computer Brands - Major PC manufacturers such as Dell and Lenovo have begun raising their product prices, with increases of 100-200 yuan reported for various models, and further adjustments expected by year-end [4]. - TrendForce data indicates that DRAM prices are projected to rise by 171.8% year-on-year by Q3 2025, significantly outpacing the increase in gold prices during the same period [4]. Supply and Demand Imbalance - The rapid growth of AI technology has led to a surge in demand for storage products, with AI servers requiring eight times more storage than standard servers, contributing to the price increases [5]. - Major manufacturers like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix are shifting production towards high-end AI storage products, reducing output of traditional DDR4 products, which exacerbates the shortage in consumer-grade storage [5]. - The current price surge is expected to last until mid-2026, with a potential decline in prices thereafter, although solid-state drives may have limited room for price correction due to ongoing demand from AI servers [5].
